Im not saying this is the best repair but since it didnt matter i just sprayed penetrating oil under the valves and hit them down with a dead blow hammer, hand cranked the motor to raise them and repeat. Once they started moving...

Im pretty sure you know im kidding but I am definately just joking! I very much enjoy reading your threads and hope you will still have the time and energy to do a few more. ( just check on that paint, I thought the blue was supposed to be a little darker but im not an expert)

319, thanks for the info, im looking to use Behr paint for a quicky paint job to make the old girl a little more presentable for now, is the blue a semi gloss?

Im going to cut the cover like you did, the latch is all set up as is, my concern was the cut getting frayed/torn bigger as the seat is used but it is an old military truck and sometimes i loose sight of that

thats perfect thank you!

how does the seat latch work with the seat cover? do you cut the cover and slide it over the latch hook? i cant find any pics. thanks

Thanks for the info guys, looks like I gave to much trade for it, story of my life!

BWAHAHAHAHA, soooooooo.... how bad is it? does it run and drive? I do have more stuff to trade..... In all seriousness the ambulance is cool but im more of a backwoods rider than a parade guy and aside from the fact that the ambulance has terrible rear visibility and is top heavy I can bring...

What I would like to do with her is trade for a deuce or 5 ton tractor so I can have something six wheel drive!
